“The Grand Tour: Sand Job” will follow Clarkson, Hammond, and May across North African Mauritania.
The episode will follow the trio of presenters on a journey across the North African state of Mauritania. According to Amazon Studios, they will “follow in the footsteps of the legendary Paris-Dakar rally.”
As you might expect, the trio won’t be tackling tough terrain with the expertly tuned rally cars associated with the race. Instead, the first trailer of the episode reveals that they will be driving a trio of badly modified grand tourers, including a Jaguar F-Type Aston Martin DB9 and Maserati GranTurismo Cabrio.
“Their journey starts on the world’s longest train and involves navigating the treacherous Sahara, facing perilous river crossings, all while safeguarding their precious fuel tanker from the risk of exploding,” the studio writes. “Filming this special, battling scorching temperatures and unforgiving sandy terrain, was a real test for both the presenters and their cars.”
The upcoming episode will have special significance for the series as it serves as the second-to-last episode of the entire series, he reported Variety which recently finished shooting in Zimbabwe, will premiere later this year.
Jeremy Clarkson announced late last year that he was going to retire to produce automotive content for video. The TV personality also presents another Amazon Original, “Clarkson’s Farm,” as well as the UK version of “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?” She also writes several columns.
His co-hosts will continue to appear on TV screens as “Richard Hammond’s Workshop” continues on Discovery and the series “James May: Our Man in…” is also enjoying success and another episode will take place in India.
